More trivia

He was a character but dude could fucking slug haha.

Really got robbed of the 1995 MVP as he had a much better season than I guess a more likeable Mo Vaughn? Should also be in HOF. Good comparison would be Puckett as he didn't have the numbers with career cut short to injuries.

Something I liked about Belle was he pretty much made no secret he was going for the most money when he left here and that's what he got. None of the "this is where I want to be..I love it here....have to rip shirt off my back to leave (Thome)", etc.

Oh shit! Belle isn’t in the Hall? I thought he was. He should be in my eyes.

At his best still the best hitter I've ever seen for the Tribe (Manny can make a case, I guess).

Belle was the only player ever to hit 50 homeruns and 50 doubles in the same season.

You asked that question wrong.

Yeah, my bad. I was going to bring that up as a question but since they were talking about Belle I thought it would be too obvious.

Which franchise has the most players in the Hall of Fame? They also are the only one to have a HOFer at every position (not including DH)

Cardinals?

 

[Pure Steel]

Cardinals?

That was going to be my guess, can’t remember a Yankee 3rd baseman in the HOF

 

[obxyankeefan]

I believe it is the Giants

 

[calsnowskier]

I believe it is the Giants

A lot of them are sniped, though. Like Randy, Gary Carter, Steve Carlton and Goose

There are really only 4 DHs in the hall…

Molitor
Edgar
Thomas
Pappy

I think that list is for the ones in the Hall as Giants (or Gothams) specifically.

There are quite a few from the old days.

Who was the only player to lead the league in stolen bases for 3 different teams?

I’m gonna have to guess Rickey right off the bat lol

 

[Cedrique]

I’m gonna have to guess Rickey right off the bat lol

great guess of course, but not Rickey

 

[Think McFly Think]

great guess of course, but not Rickey

Yeah whenever I see SB, he’ll most likely be my first guess

 

[YourFriendGannon]

Juan Pierre

 

[broncosmitty]

Otis Nixon and Robbie Alomar were the first guys I thought of.

Neither ever lead the league in stolen bases. For any of the teams they played for.

The right answer is a tough one.
